Like 90% of what gets called literature and art is exactly that: a disjointed pile of references that are intentionally inscrutable to anyone not familiar with whatever niche thing the author was.
What the hell kind of literature have you been reading
Every time something like this filters out of the weird high art literature scene it’s something like this, and most of what I remember from English in high school and college was the same. Anything that’s “prestigious” literature seems to be insufferable dreck built from allegory and references that make modestly educated journalists feel like smart little lads when they get the reference. I hate it so much and I’m saying this as exactly the sort of educated-person-who-reads-too-much it’s supposed to appeal to.
Like I genuinely prefer absolute garbage to anything the New York Times would praise.
Sure nyt garbage is trash but that won’t this trash in the post is good though. This is like one page. If this is way its gonna convey whatever for a book length, then good luck reading that. I can’t.
Like this is literally on those wattpad incest script level writing. Not to mention the whole creepy infantlizing.
I don’t care for prestigious books or whatever. Not every book is doing references every sentence.

Someone else linked a NYT article that while stopping short of being a glowing review of the book in question did praise the worst things about it.
So nyt garbage is trash
